Fuel supply
Double-pipe circuit (Fig. 19)
The burner is equipped with a self-priming pump which is capable
of feeding itself within the limits listed in the table at the side.
The tank higher than the burner A
The distance "P" must not exceed 10 meters in order to avoid
subjecting the pump's seal to excessive strain; the distance "V"
must not exceed 4 meters in order to permit pump self-priming
even when the tank is almost completely empty.
The tank lower than the burner B
Pump depression of 0.45 bar (35 cm Hg) must not be exceeded
because at higher levels gas is released from the fuel, the pump
starts making noise and its working life-span decreases.
It is good practice to ensure that the return and suction lines enter
the burner from the same height; in this way it will be less proba-
ble that the suction line fails to prime or stops priming.
Hydraulic system
The loop circuit
A loop circuit consists of a loop of piping departing from and re-
turning to the tank with an auxiliary pump that circulates the fuel
under pressure. A branch connection from the loop goes to feed
the burner. This circuit is extremely useful whenever the burner
pump does not succeed in self-priming because the tank dis-
tance and/or height difference are higher than the values listed in
the table.
